Why is this game so rare? It's supposed to be common according to rarity guides
no one bought itI always saw this at blockbuster and I was like yeah nobody's gonna rent that
>>12599563There's legit only 3 or 4 copies on ebay right now. This and bust a move 2 are great games actually
>>12599448Do I need to play the other 98 games to understand this one?
>>12599574Just the first 30 or so
>>12599448>>12599574It's not a number in the series, it refers to the number of bits the game has. Donkey Kong 64 and Mario 64 only use 64 bits, but Bust' -A- Move goes up to 99, which is the max value you can get out of the N64.
>>12599448>99>not 64ONE FUCKING JOB
>>12599584They should have just called it bust a move 3
>>12599448You can come over and play my copy.
>>12599574'99 so it's actually the other 1998 games, 1278 to 1653 are all filler though so you can skip those
>>12599448It's not rare. This is just plain old market manipulation to drive up prices.Looking at Pricecharting, the price for the PAL versions has stayed consistent over the last decade at under 15 bucks, while the Japanese version has gone from 15 bucks to 30 bucks due to some recent high value sales but there's no actual price trend upwards in general.Meanwhile the US version went for 15 bucks loose as recently as 2020, while it's now regularly selling for over 60 bucks. Sales are also happening consistently with Pricecharting seeing 30 listings for a loose cart this year alone so it's far from rare.>>12599584The japanese version is called Puzzle Bobble 64
>>12599827How many copies can you find on ebay rn? Supposedly it's the same rarity as bust a move 2 yet copies of that are abundant
>>12599448>not having a copy
>>12599865Damn that's a clean copy. I'm just trying to get one sub $50 but I don't think that's going to happen
>>12599831Having a quick look I can see that 7 copies of Bust-A-Move 99 have been sold in the last month alone. In no fucking universe is that a rare game then.For comparison, Bust-A-Move 2 seems to be doing similar numbers in terms of units sold, just at a fraction of the price.
>>12599890And your point? 12 copies of Bomberman the Second Attack have sold in the last month and it's supposed to be much rarer. Again, how many copies do you see on ebay rn?
